FaceBook Follies
| |
| From a purely business perspective, FaceBook makes no sense to me at all. Lemmings the world over are signed up by the millions because to exist in business, it seems mission-critical to be on FaceBook! Really? Apparently, the primary user base is still kids, students, families, budding entrepreneurs and befuddled geniuses... Those demographics should sound the "zero ROI" marketing alarm for any intelligently run business. Sophos's "Security Threat Report 2010" polled over 500 firms, 60% of whom responded that they believed that FaceBook was the social network that posed the biggest threat to security. That's aside from the billions of dollars of lost productivity! |

Facebook skeptics…
| |
| Just wanted to post something short and sweet today.

The Only Object of Life

| Margaret Fuller wrote: “Very early, I knew that the only object in life was to grow.”
I love this quote and imagine this perspective had a profound impact on the quality of her life.
If each of us shared Margaret’s outlook and truly lived from this perspective in all of its fullness, what would be different for us and those whom we touch? There are many possibilities. |

A Matter of Perspective

| Sometimes a new perspective can hit you on the head a la “I could’ve had a V-8!” For me, it happened recently when I had the good fortune of working with a intern from my children’s school. Her name is Jordan Denniston, and she is a high school junior. Although still young in years, Jordan is quite wise in spirit. As I reflected on the battling perspectives of the recent Presidential campaign and my own, more mundane challenges of perspective, Jordan’s thoughts below helped me relearn an important leadership lesson.

Differentiating Pricing Strategy From Selling Strategy
| |
| Let's differentiate between this very sound pricing strategy yet unsound selling strategy. From a pricing perspective, this strategy allows you to effectively position your company, brand, products and services wherever you need them to be, based on markets, competition, reputation, quality and business strategy.
However, from a selling perspective, never provide your prospect with even two, let alone three options. It's difficult enough to close business in a timely manner today and you certainly don't want to be the cause of a decision making delay. |

Consultative Needs Based Selling Approach
| |
| Looking at your business from a sales perspective and most importantly understanding your business from a client perspective, is one of the most important first steps in sales.
Most people hate being sold to but love the feeling of buying; so the clearer you can explain how your business helps and "what is in it for them" the easier it makes prospective customers to make a buying decision.
The consultative/problem solver approach qualifies and listens to the customer and helps them to buy what they need. The consultative approach focuses on the needs of the customer and how you improve or benefit them in some way. |

How Openness Yields Results

I speak on planning from a different perspective, that is, I talk about it from a right-brain or intuitive perspective, not the traditional “what I did last year plus 10%” route that many planning gurus take. |

Outdoor Billboards - Valuable Assets For Businesses, Land Owners and Billboard Operators
| |
| Contrary to popular belief, one way of improving real estate property value is placing a billboard advertisement on-site when legally permitted to do so. From a business perspective, outdoor billboards are an excellent advertising medium during both good and poor economic times. From a real estate investor's perspective, billboards are an asset to property since current zoning laws in numerous cities across the United States limit or restrict construction of billboards. |
